Abstract Figurative Art For Sale

Artists Describing Their Art:

Jean Claude - The French physicist, Joseph Nicephore Niepce, made the first negative on paper in 1816 and the first known photograph on metal that he called an heliograph in 1826. After 1826 there is no place for figurative art ! I am a french born self taught american artist with an eye open on the past (Nicolas de Stael) and the new South Western and South-American painters. For me painting is almost always ABSTRACT ! I create CHAOS and there after I organize the CHAOS ! Mixing the right colors in the right SPACE ! If I do something that looks figurative; it's caricature! Myself looking like Mussolini or the black Ava Gardner ! rests and inspires me... I have always been a ravenous reader in both French and English, and my bookshelves are filled with the works of Updike, Bellow, Henry Miller, Nabokov, Sade, Proust, Celine, Queneau, Boris Vian, among many others. Still a cinephile, I go to the films of Lang, Minnelli, Preminger, Delmer Daves, Godard, Truffaut time and time again. Music always fills my house, whether it be classical (Richard Strauss, Berg, Martinu, Janacek, Debussy), Jazz (Coltrane, Mingus, Miles Davis, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy), or ...

Lyudmila Kogan - My art is my diary a pictorial journal for painting discrete moments in time arranged by medium in which they are expressed. The medium spectrum runs from intuitive abstract expressions, to more complex reflections on daily events. Most of my art works are dedicated to abstract expressions of reality based on my personal reflections on life, environment, emotional expressions, and peoples characters. I am not concerned with the superficial and the obvious I try to capture the essence of a person, a moment, a state of mind, or an emotion. In my drawings I am not trying to imitate realistic attributes I am trying to mirror ones character as well as to express my own thoughts and feelings on the subject. Everything depends on what and when something caught my attention, made me think, or affected me. ...

Godwin Constantine - Art for me art is a medium to express my reflections on the enviornment in which I am placed. I feel our identity is not static, its dynamic. It is moleded by our circumstances although we assume our identity as stable and unique by birth, upbrining and the other inherent'qualites' we fail to appreciate the vulnarability of our identity. Art is a medium which helps us to relate and reflect on our condition thus helping us constantly to renew and realise our identity. ...

Michael Weatherly - Art speaks to anyone. It can lift your spirits, provoke your thoughts and calm your emotions. A continuing desire to grow and express has driven my creation of original works - The past and the present connect. Creating a work of art is, having traveled various roads through experimentation until reaching the culmination of an organic art form implementing abstract-figurative elements that emphasize textures and non-conventional forms. It is through experimentation and the search of new techniques that I imprint my work with imagery that reminds us of the natural world. For me, creating is a liberating experience - I am always in a happy state even during the times when I struggle with the process. The creative journey starts with a concept - it's just me and the blank canvas, paper or object...my senses awaken...the process is a thrill ...I progress through stages...it becomes.

Elena Osterwalder - When people leave their homeland, their home memories freeze in that instant, and without them realizing it both the country and the people progress in divergent directions. The external influences of the new country tend to be assimilated with the old ones and in "The Arts" form a new esthetic with components of both cultures. Years later the yearning for what was left behind takes a hold of them and forces them to look back. In my case using components that have historical and spiritual value in the Mexican tradition, I strive to converge the various cultures that have influenced me and create a 21st century aesthetic. Cuando uno deja a su pais , el recuerdo de su pais se congela en ese instante y no se da cuenta que tanto el pais como el mismo progresan en direcciones divergentes. Las influencias del nuevo se asimilan con las antiguas y en "Las Artes" forman una nueva estetica con componentes de las dos culturas. Anos mas tarde cuando cree que ha incorporado ambas culturas, la anoranza de lo que ha dejado detras toma mucha fuerza y lo empuja a mirar atras. En mi caso...
